Transporter Room 3

Kojima dropped David Hayter like a sack of rotting potatoes, they can both get fucked.

The corpo can get fucked extra hard though.

Well now I’m sad and want to go back to the cabin I stayed in for my first anniversary and finish reading.

Just once I would love for a judge to just go "You know what? It’s obvious what your company is doing here, so rather than attempt to receive this information in good faith, since it’s not being OFFERED in good faith, we can go ahead and say you lose, and now owe punitive damages to every artist you’ve sued over the years over a couple circles. "

But no, they pretend that corporations are people.

I’ll believe they’re people when I finally see one executed, or taxed, or imprisoned, or face any of the consequences normal people do. You can’t argue the idea of a comoany has personhood and then walk that back any time it comes to punishment.

Fuck disney

Still illegal in many places in the US. I just happen to live in a state that is legal.

Since I’m close to a state border, I only need to drive about 20 minutes to be somewhere it’s illegal again.

And if you live in an “at will” state, they can just fire you even if it’s legal.

Sidenote: “at will” employment is the biggest sack of bullshit that employers convinced people is totally normal.

Im hopeful that the US, EU, and UK legalize it within the next few years. I’m realistic about the chances, I know how the older generations of politicians are, but I still cross my fingers.

Tldr I don’t think this is an unpopular opinion.

Cake day?

I have no idea what day I first started using lemmy, or when I made an account. I’m okay not knowing.

As for “karma”, do any instances track total karma, or just per-comment? Honestly I don’t give a shit if my comments do well or not, I don’t live for other people’s amusement.

As for other people, I can’t speak for them, but I haven’t seen anyone crying for lemmy to be more like reddit.

It’s a peaceful life.

I had to fiddle with my own on my old laptop, I used one of the plethora of github scripts, but then they changed the api to limit access to (I think) about 100/min, so I just changed the delays to 1000ms so it would only delete 60/min.

Took two weeks, but I still haven’t seen any old content pop back up outside of archives and quotes from other comments in the thread.

I search for a couple random things I remember saying on ddg/bing/Google whenever I think about it, so far nothing.

As I’ve said before about certain countries, you know your platform is doing well when you (essentially) tell people “No, sorry, you can’t leave.”

So my understanding of it is that one person who has a lot of followers made a video using the word in an arguably improper manner, a bunch of other people making more videos more or less using it ironically to make fun of it, and then a bunch MORE people just started using it completely wrong because it’s been a game of Shitty Telephone from the people who used it correctly (first persons teacher, or a book somewhere) and the end result makes absolutely no sense.

Or, if you will excuse the slanted metaphor, “Ai learning from Ai”

Abandon Quest?

[X] Yes [_] No

SAY WHAT AGAIN

Boss: “can you explain why your random drug test came back positive for thc?”

Me: “yeah, it’s legal and I have a life outside of work. Sorry if you can’t relate, but my personal time is just that. Personal.”

This exchange did not go well from there, but guess who got fired for something first. (hint: not me)

Hmm. Too bad you need a bunch of resources for those instead of… Idk, waving your hand and saying some words.

Nor can they Magick-up all their needs, or transmute gold.

*I didn’t ask how close those buildings are, I said “I cast FIREBALL” *

-Megumin, if they played D&D

No worries, text doesn’t convey tone well and I could see how my comment might seem like I was calling YOU smug for not taking interest in something.

Oh no, I meant the other guy saying “you’re one of those people who enjoys helldivers 2” in a way that’s clear he’s trying to say it sucks and he’s better than that.

You didn’t come off as smug.

Then you’re missing out.

You can do both. Sometimes at the same time!

And most likely without some kind of smug sense of superiority over helldivers 2 players of all things like the other guy.

Oh god this was me in highschool.

My response though was “I don’t really like lip balm, but thanks”

Literal years before I remembered it and facepalmed.

“we’re in line at a theme park called DANGER and someone just force fed us a FAST PASS”

Another anecdote for the “Springs Be Scary” list, I was helping my brother in law put theirs up two years ago, and similarly had trouble with the last spring.

We were using the tool included in the packaging, a little T post handle with a small hook on the end, sort of like one of those livestock processing hooks they use to grab heavy things with, just a lot smaller. And not sharp.

Well the last spring was being pulled back when the metal hook broke out of the handle, and shot into the nearby house window and broke one of the bottom panes.

Nobody was hurt, but with all the kids excitedly sprinting around, that metal bit was flying at eye level to 3 or 4 of them… Someone could have lost an eye.

Springs under load are scary as fuck, ask any garage door tech.
